Match Preview: Saturday,2nd March 2013, One of the important match Wigan v Liverpool of Barclays Premier League HD Quality Live streaming is available here.Wigan v Liverpool Live Stream online Barclays Premier League Video Free The match will take plcae at DW Stadium on 3/2/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.This is a meeting between two 'box of chocolates' teams. Yes, you never quite know what you're going to get (© Forrest Gump).It's ever been thus in the Premier League with Wigan, whose habitual inconsistency sees them in the bottom five after 27 games for the fourth season in a row. To continue with the lame (and predictable!) film analogies, this of course means that the Latics are once again preparing for their annual 'Great Escape' from relegation. Last week's win at fellow strugglers Reading was huge, and took Wigan to a healthy four points better off than they were this time a year ago.With his two goals, it also underlined how important Arouna Kone has been to them this season - and will be in the weeks ahead. Having scored 10 goals by the end of February, Kone's set for the best return by a Wigan player since my mate Jason Roberts bagged 14 in 2005-06! Only Amr Zaki* has scored more than 10 in the six full seasons since then.As for Liverpool? Well, they're undoubtedly going the right way under Brendan Rodgers but need to prove in their remaining games that this will be the last 'transition' season. When you see them play with the style they showed against Swansea two weeks ago, and then with such spirit against FC Zenit, it's apparent that the work to make the club challenge at the top again is progressing. Where Liverpool have been consistent this season is in dealing with the lesser lights of the Premier League. A record of W9 D2 L1 against bottom-half teams is bettered only by Manchester United, and includes a 3-0 beating of Wigan in November when Luis Suarez dominated.Wigan haven't won at home for seven games. Liverpool are five winless away. A draw might be your best bet - but you'd be brave to confidently predict anything with these two.The unpredictable Zaki has just left Egyptian side ENPPI just 12 days after re-joining his old club on a two-and-a-half year deal. He's only 29 - any takers?
